Description Markus Kuppe CLA 2010-07-24 07:57:21 EDT 
javax.jmdns.impl.JmDNSImpl.JmDNSImpl() explicitly prevents the loopback interface from being bound to. Even if net.mdns.interface is set. On top of that, JREs < 1.6 fail to send multicast messages over the loopback interface even if the socket is bound to it.
